Ivy-League Educated Practicing Psychologist

Carla A.

Hi there! I'm a practicing Child/ Adolescent Psychologist with teaching experience that spans elementary to graduate school. Highlights include:

- As a college student at NYU, I tutored elementary school students in reading & writing
- While earning my Master's at Columbia, I led an after-school homework program for middle school students
- As a doctoral student at PCOM, I taught an undergraduate college course in Cognitive Psychology
- As a Psychology Fellow at Yale, I mentored psych students and helped proofread/ edit essays, resumes, and class assignments.
- As an Attending Psychologist at Montefiore, I taught medical students about the emotional/behavioral aspects of pediatric care

Throughout my academic career, I've always enjoyed teaching others, especially when I can help simplify a complex subject in a fun and interesting way. Because I'm well-versed in learning theory, I strive to individualize my teaching approach to the individual student to ensure optimal results.
